February – May 2010
The Museum is continuing the update of exhibit spaces. This multi-phase project has seen all exhibit halls change and the Gift Shop has moved. Please excuse our mess as we continue to improve our spaces to better tell the story of the Navy in Narragansett Bay.
The Eight Bell Book Lecture Series
The format of the Eight Bells Lecture Series has the author speaking about 40-45 minutes on the topic of his book and the facts leading to its publication. The last 15-20 minutes are given over for audience members to ask questions on the topic. For those who are able to remain after the allotted hour can stay and discuss the book further and have the book signed. Copies of the books are on sale in the Naval War College Foundation Gift Shop. As always, this event is a brown-bag affair which is free and open to the public. For those without Department of Defense ID cards, please call the Museum at least one work day in advance at 841-2101 to make reservations for any of these events or to visit the Museum.
